Team GB win Olympic triathlon relay as Jonny Brownlee finally claims gold

Finally, Johnny Brownlee can call himself an Olympic champion after so many near misses and hard luck stories. In a sweaty and entrancing race, Brownlee was part of the Team GB’s mixed sprint triathlon team that won gold here by 14 seconds, ahead of the United States and France.

Brownlee, who had won individual bronze in London 2012 and silver in Rio 2016, produced a brilliant second leg after taking over from Jessica Learmonth and established a gap that Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee never looked like relinquishing.“Olympics? Completed it,” said Brownlee afterwards. “It feels absolutely amazing. It’s my third Olympics and I’ve finally got gold.”

In the Olympic race, each athlete had to complete a super-sprint triathlon consisting of a 300m swim, 6.8km bike, and 2km run before tagging off to their next team- mate.

Britain’s seventh gold medal of these Games was set up by Learmonth, whose powerful swim put Britain in a lead group of four with Germany, the US and the Netherlands.

Brownlee then pushed clear and established a 21-second lead that Taylor-Brown on leg three was largely able to maintain.

When Yee had a 17-second lead on the bike it looked all over. However he had two of the best triathletes in the world, Vincent Luiz and Morgan Pearson, chasing him down.

The Frenchman put in an astonishing bike ride to pull it back, but Yee still had a 10 metre lead as they went off on the bike. That lead had extended to 50m by the end of the first of the two laps on the run and Yee was able to power home before jumping into Brownlee’s arms at the finish.
